well when you say obo,
of the 3 plants you can see in that pic, the top left one is a cut from a tri obo, female, pollinated with the tri bruisedberry pollen that has now been cut down. The pic on the right is the tri bruised nuts male. The plant that I think you are refering to, the one I refered to as the target plant (for good reason) is actually an obodc. You see the dc (domina cross male) was used to make both the bruised berrys and these seeds which were mothered by the first obo seed to be germed. Trouble is, rather than the normal 200 seeds or so, it was a lucky crossing rather than a planned cross, so I have about 12 left so I'm using them sparingly. But yes topped twice, I would have done each of the 4 tops again if purely maximising yield, but it slows it down a bit, and I want it to hit maturity asap, it's been in 12/12 since 1 week from sprouting under the 400w HPS, although I wouldn't say that it was in flowering yet. I love the way these grow, and plan on an f2 excercise with a dedicated grow of just those seeds soon, but for now these tri crosses are starting their show propper now. As I said I am collecting pollen from the fella, for use on the target, but also on 2 new tri bruised berrys now growing at seedling stage, lets hope they grow quickly enough for the pollen to still be viable for them. Like I said that cutting isn't looking healthy, and I've never revegged a male from normal harvest point, so I'm not even sure if that can be done. Anyway just thought I'd clear that one up.

Thanks for the explanation! OK obodc, yes that's the one I was referring to. 3 cheers for lucky crosses!

I really like the leaf structure you're getting, both the tri obo and obodc leaves are beautifully distinctive.

Have you ever tried any foliar sprays to pick up growth rate? I don't have a large enough sample to make a firm conclusion, but I've tried it with Nitrozyme and Liquid Karma a few times and the plants seem to shift up a growth gear a couple days later.

No, I'm a bit odd when it comes to chems, as in I don't really like to use them. I did try a weak scotch and water foliar spray when I had a mite problem, but normally the only thing that touches the leaves is mist when young and air flow when older. Those leaves are good sign, which is why I am using the target as a target even though it only puts out 2 leaves per node.
Tomorrow night we have the debut of the seedlings.

I may as well put them up now come to think of it.
This is the fav of the 2

As I suspect that this one will lose it's triness later,

Well, it just seems a little more eager, and it has that nice rubberish look about the leaves, and its more lime than dak green, and it seems to be more even, whereas the other is more 2+1. We'll see.

The baby tri bruised berrys, waiting to sex, pollen pre collected and waiting.
Males in reserve if the old pollen doesnt take.

I'll admit it I haven't read the whole thread yet...but from what I've seen so far the GMT Tri's are alive and well...
More when I have more time to catch up.. :wave:

Here goes, 3rd time lucky, I keep getting kicked out when I try to post this reply, but I'll give it yet another go after an hou and a half of trying.

Hi Pack, no worries mate, this is where it gets good anyway.

tri BBs are re-tubbed,



And the cut from the tri obo which was pollinated by the BB tri male, although not at a good time for her, the first generation of tri x tri seeds are developing nicely, and should do well when crossed with the tri bruised nut.


Like I said she was pollinated at a very bad time for a cutting being revegged.

Keepin my fingers crossed for this run - and despite the timing on the tri obo pregger, look like she is seeding up nicely! Nice pics G!

She's Ugly with a capital U baby...pregnant and the reveg leaves...She's damaged goods..
I've see reveg before but I think that's the first I've seen while she was producing seeds..
Will the reveg metamorphosis effect the condition or outcome of the seed? :chin:

Thanks MGJ, my fingers are crossed too,
Yeah Pack, not one to take home to mom, but I can't wait to find out if they are ok. I reckon about 5 weeks to find out if they are good or not.
The 2 tri's above are in 12 12 lighting now, see when they go into flower.

Side shot of the tri's growing up. The nearest plant is the nicest of the 2 at the mo, that's the one I said i didn't like as much as the other, seems to be turning out nice though.

Sigh, I've spent ages looking for tri males, and like busses.
Yes I have my tri Bruised nuts male, in re-veg and it's doing well, and I have my latest 2 tri bruisedberrys, both of which now appear male, back to the wet paper towels. Thing is I'm not sure I can bare to lose the males, so I think I am going to reveg them, and when I find the next tri, I'll either flower one male to pollinate it with and keep the others or use all 3 on the girl, I don't know, I'm still gutted that I'm back to wet paper towel stage. I'm trying to keep numbers low, as that's what counts here, but I can see why most breeding programs take hundreds of plants rather than a few and time, which is the technique I'm using.
Have a look

You do what you gotta do with what you have...tri tri tri again..and use a pink pot.. :petting:

I'm a little concerned that a pink pot may cause the plants to become confused, could lead to hermies or something similar.
